Project Updates

As early as Friday, July 18, construction crews will begin asphalt removal and utility work on US-89 between SR-126 and 7325 South, see map below. Anticipate shifting travel lanes in the area to accommodate this work. Drivers should use caution and follow all posted signage when travelling through the work zone. This is anticipated to last up to two weeks. Refer to the graphic below for more details. 

• One travel lane in each direction will be available at all times.
• Access to businesses and homes will be available whenever possible during this work
  • Properties on the east side can expect to experience a temporary access interruption of up to 15 minutes as equipment removes asphalt past driveways.
  • Once asphalt is removed in front of a driveway, temporary ramps will be placed to maintain access.
• For your safety, the safety of other drivers, and our crew, please adhere to posted signage in and around the work zone.

Heads up | Closure on Northbound Highway-89 at the SR-126 Intersection

Northbound US-89 at the 2000 W (SR-126) junction will close to through traffic from Monday, May 19, through July. Drivers should follow the posted detour route and plan for delays. Please refer to the map below for more information.

As early as Tuesday, April 15, 2025, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will begin construction on US-89 from the US-89/SR-126 intersection to just south of Hargis Hill Road in Willard. The project improvements include:

• Full depth roadway reconstruction to extend the life of the road including consistent shoulder-widths through the project
• Repairing and improving drainage systems to prevent pooling and road deterioration
• Installing a storm drain system on 750 North (SR-315) from US-89 to I-15
• Modifying and replacing select driveways, parking lots, and landscape features
• Improving roadside barriers and pedestrian ramps
• Upgrading and relocating existing utilities

Work on the project will occur Monday through Saturday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The project is scheduled to be completed as early as Fall 2026. Construction dates are approximate and subject to change

What to Expect During Construction 

• Increased noise and vibration
• Reduced and shifted lanes on US-89
• Speed limit reductions in areas of active work
• Temporary neighborhood and driveway access changes
• Intermittent night and Sunday work.

Overview

UDOT will construct improvements along US-89 from the US-89/SR-126 intersection to just south of Hargis Hill Road in Willard. These improvements will replace subgrade material (e.g., compacted gravel) and pavement which has reached its operational expectancy and become unstable. Additionally, much of the existing drainage along this section of US-89 will be upgraded to avoid pooling and roadway storm runoff (i.e., sheet flow) during stormy weather. This will extend the lifetime of the road, while creating a safer, more comfortable road for drivers.
